We
would like to start by welcoming our 20 new members that joined us in the
past 60 days. Congratulations and welcome to you all! We
thank you for making us the most comprehensive B&B directory in Australia.

The winter period since June 1 has been a busy time with ozshortstay.com.au
handling over 600
online enquiry/reservation requests for our members. That is in excess
of 20 enquiries a day via the site for accommodation. This does not
include the hundreds of enquires and reservations that come direct via e-mail or telephone
to our Blue Ribbon Members.

As you are
aware,
Blue Ribbon Membership was launched in early 2005. With the added
benefits and features, more than 300 members are taking advantage of our
premiere listing. If you would like to find out more, check out
the details of our membership.
